Welcome to the Kent's
Ice Cream, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin website. We handmake a popular ice cream product called the BIG BAR and vend them at various
events in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Yes, this is still the Kent's Ice Cream that began in Fort Atkinson in
1941. We still use old fashioned recipes and very high quality ingredients that go against the food industry trend
to make things cheaper and cheaper. Many so-called ice cream products are not up to ice cream standards and many
don't even have dairy in them. In many cases, if the product does contain cream and milk, it is "ultra-high
pasteurized" or "UHT" which basically burns all the good stuff out of the milk. We use HTST pasteurization
methods, which helps retain much of the good nutrients found in dairy products. All winter and spring we had been experimenting with a new flavor. We finished
our tests just in time to produce this new flavor in time for the Spring Jefferson Swap Meet. We made a smooth
peanut butter ice cream bar (made with real peanuts) and dipped it in chocolate. If you know our products, you
know we would not add it to our menu if it wasn't terrific. We sold out of them at Spring Jefferson! We'll
have them again at upcoming events.
Our show schedule page is complete. See
the show schedule page for a complete listing and printable flyer.
 Above is our latest crazy project. We grafted the fins
from a real '57 Plymouth using '58 Plymouth tail-lights to one of our vending trailers. Our friends at French Lake Auto
Parts in Annandale, MN supplied most of the parts from a car in their huge yard that was way too far gone. Google French
Lake Auto Parts to find a great salvage yard with cars going back into the 30's still in their yard.

The above photo was taken from 3D
Sound's highlift at the last cruise night of 2011 in Fort Atkinson. It was a 'Duesey' as we lost count as
the classics arrived in a steady stream. We are already publishing some 2012 dates for cruise nights on our cruise night
page as they come in.
